Lecturers begin strike action over Glasgow Caledonian University job cuts

Academic staff at Glasgow Caledonian University have begun a series of strike days over proposed job losses, which will include all graduation days over the summer.

Members of the Educational Institute of Scotland University Lecturers Association (EIS-ULA) voted for industrial action after a dispute was lodged in March but was not resolved.

EIS General Secretary Andrea Bradley said staff were striking to protect 100 jobs, research and course provision.

The university said it was being forced to reduce posts because of a drop in income from overseas students.

Strikes will take place on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, as well as 4 August and 7, 8 and 10 September.
